Sercel happy with take up of its integrated navigation system

Sercel has confirmed the fifth installation in the past year of its integrated navigation system, SeaPro Nav. Parent company CGGVeritas has selected SeaPro Nav as its navigation system of choice and is expected to equip more than 10 additional vessels in the company's fleet by the end of 2012.

SeaPro Nav has been designed with a flexible multi-vessel architecture to allow for the fast adoption of new seismic acquisition techniques. The system is also fully compatible with Sercel's marine equipment, such as the Sentinel solid streamer and Nautilus streamer control system.

Laurent Dollon, senior vice president, marine operations, CGGVeritas, said: 'The decision to deploy SeaPro Nav across our fleet is the result of its excellent performance and the positive feedback we received from our crews onboard the vessels already equipped with the system. SeaPro Nav offers an advanced real-time positioning solution and innovative applications that improve safety and productivity.'
